"This film, about people in love with people who didn't love them, and the damage that caused should have been sad and/or inspiring, but was very funny because Bette Davis' cockney accent was absolutely hilarious. I'm can't understand why everyone else thinks she was in any way 'convincing'."

Bette Davis es la diabólica mujer que cae hacia la perdición y los ojos saltones que la harían famosa. Cierto aire arcaico que hace a la película todavía más atractiva.

While "Of Human Bondage" is sort of a dozy movie, it's also highly fascinating creation. For one Bette Davis puts of a remarkable performance as this cold and self-destructing woman. It's truly a unique portrayal that gets one watching. That's not taking away anything from Leslie Howard, but he's more the limping straight guy possessed by this devil woman. But he's effective in the way this is filmed. And that's the other interesting thing about "Of Human Bondage". It's mostly filmed from the point of view of the listener which was not a normal style at that time. It was like the actors was talking directly at the audience getting a very distinct intimate feel of the emotions. So this is a movie that gets you involved rather then entertains.

An diesem Film stimmt nichts. Noch nicht einmal Bette Davis!!

Bette Davis lights up what's otherwise a pretty run of the mill drama.

The story, melodrama, and cinermatography cause me a lot of issues at some points - I don't appreciate the actors constantly looking into the camera. But I'm sure many do, so it's not a biggie. What keeps me coming back to this film over and over is the amazing performance from Bette Davis.

It was overall a fairly good movie. Storyline was more commoner then I had originally expected. But both Howard and Davis's performances were pretty good.

Bette Davis is astonishing. Absolutely toxic.
